AVID recently got some attention from a big hedge fund and completed a ~5% stock buyback that has lifted the stock from its summer decline, but I think there is more hype than hope over the next year. Low profitability offsets AVID's technological… More

There's little or no sales growth ahead, and Avid has become a margin story from head to toe. And there's that Apple-made opportunity that seems to be slipping through management's fingers. Adobe, on the other hand, is accelerating.

I think investors will wake up from this euphoric jump to find that Avid's long-term prospects don't measure up. Cost-cutting is a delicate balancing act, and you can't really force customers to flock to your richer-margin products. Focusing on margin growth without destroying the underlying business is very, very hard. It's a risky turnaround plan. That's why I'm putting my all-star CAPS rating on the line here with an angry, red "underperform" CAPScall. That way, you can hold me accountable when I say that Avid is going nowhere -- fast.

Avid's innovation is unprecedented. The face of high end editing is going to change rapidly with their leadership.
